On December 17, 2018, officers with the Oxford Police Department were conducting a driver’s license checkpoint on College Hill Road when a vehicle driven by Keyron Pegues (28 of Oxford, Mississippi) pulled up to them.
Pegues explained that he did not have a valid driver’s license. Officers got Pegues out of the car and asked for consent to search which was granted. A firearm was located inside the vehicle. Pegues is a convicted felon.
Pegues was arrested and transported to the Lafayette County Detention Center where he was booked for possession of a weapon by a felon. A Justice Court Judge set his bond at $2,500.
